I think I AM making progress in jujitsu, despite what my bruises and missing hunks of flesh seem to say about me. There were some new people in the class last nite and I found myself giving them instructionals and quick tutorials as we were going up for a throw or a spar against each other. I have a natural “teacher” in me, but it’s that I felt competent enough to pass on some knowledge that I was kinda surprised about. We learned a few new defensive-turned-offensive moves which ended with arm bars placed on the attacker, and as I was watching 2 people in my sector practice this move, the main instructor walked up to me and said discreetly, “I want you to learn some of these moves for use in competition.” Well, I have a year. Should be no problem. I haven’t even been in class a month yet and I’ve already got some moves I could do in my sleep.
